Orwell’s “politics of language”

with its political agendas is now truer than ever in the West. Every day now, citizens and workers are told what the latest offensive terms are, and some absurd new wording is being coined in the name of political correctness. Nonsensical and absurd. Agendaists continue to take language apart willy-nilly. Much as countries like the U.S. and U.K. deconstruct themselves. And many people continue to ‘do it to themselves’ and ‘do it to others’ frequently. We are witnessing The Great Deconstruct of stability, tolerance, understanding, decency and sanity in our times; the end of any kind of rational authority as we enter a new era of irrational hate and unnecessary violence against ourselves and others. Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a very dark, long day’s journey into night. Back to the Dark Ages, too, with all the ignorance caused by technology, the decline of books, rational discourse, common sense, and human kindness.
